2 and a bit days solo, it was first ever visit to Amsterdam.

Day 1

I got the wrong train and ended up in Hilversum, git the train to centraal and headed for my hotel at about 11:30am. The hotel was very basic and not terribly clean, so I dumped my bag and headed out planning to end up on haarlemmerstreet. I crossed over the damrak and spotted 4:20 so in I went for my first smoke a gram of neville's haze and a bong and off I blazed. It was a nice strong high and a very smooth smoke overall and it gave me a good start, but as I sat and thought about the hotel, I decided I couldn't stay there as i would spoil my trip so I went to look for a sleeping bag or another hotel. I found a hotel agency type place near the red light district who got me two nights in a best western near liedse square for €125, so I checked out and headed that way. After 4 hours of being lost I eventually found it but my legs were well and truly dead, on my travels I realised that the dutch have no regard for any form of pedestrian health and safety after spending a great deal of time walking in the road to get around roadworks and other pavement obstructions. I checked in once again and had a nap. Later in the afternoon I headed up towards harlemmerstraat again stopping at abraxas, I bought some chocolope and put the whole gram in one big joint, then headed over to green place rented a bong and bought some super lemon haze. I was impressed with green place which was nice and modern with plenty of seating and sold hot food, so I got a burger and pitched up there for a couple of hours.

I'll piece together day two later.

Nice start. Are you sure you were in Greenplace? I'm almost certain that they don't sell food. Maybe you went to Greenhouse. I can't believe you were lost that long, its no more than a 45 minute stoned walk to the Best Western.

Peace,

nice report--if you must hike all over the place stick to the canals--city is amazing viewed from a canal perspective,

'' on my travels I realised that the dutch have no regard for any form of pedestrian health and safety '' 10/10 for this--I have nearly been killed on a few occasions by silent trams sneaking up on you. not to mention the kamikaze cyclists and scooter drivers.

anyway have a nice time and chill, wandering lonely as a cloud is an Amsterdam thing, first time I went I was all stressed out for a day or two, until you realise that as long as you are near the leidesplien you can never really get lost-----check out rookies coffeeshop if you need to give your legs a rest. look forward to reading how your navigational difficulties progress.
